This is PHP/MySQL. A couple of the ideas have merit including this one -
I think either building a section with selectable images (that trigger
the value) or the radio buttons would be easiest. How many images -
don't know yet. I am building a self-administration form for a client
so that she can select both the 'before' and then the 'after' images and
write add some narrative input. It will depend on her passion to make
it happen. I would like to see a set of 5-10 ongoing pairs. The
problem I'm envisioning is the amount of real estate, particularly if I
have to display one set of images for before and also after. That's why
I was thinking option/select.
What I have done in the mean time (how do you spell jerry rig?) is to
set up a regular select which will display the file names only for both
before and after, then separately in a <table> display thumbnails with
the associated filename to the right. It's not as nifty as selectable
images, but much less coding and is reasonably easy to manage. And
Sunday is my day off, right... -Bob
